Almost anyone who's anyone knows that biggest change you can make to your car is getting some bigger wheels and tire and lowering it. Here is a good example of the difference it can make.

If you are planning on dishing out the cash for these mods, here are some important things you should know before diving in head first:

The first set of rules are for people wanting to go with 17" wheels.
1. Get the widest offset possible(usually +40)
2. If you are going with a wheel with a width of 7.5", don't lower your car more than 1.5" or it will rub. If the width is only 7", then you will be safe with a 2" drop.

The second set of rules and important information has to do with lowering your car.(IMPORTANT!)
1. If you don't know how to put on coil springs, plan on spending at least $100 for getting them installed.
2. When you get your springs put on, be sure to have the alignment done-another $40.
3. Now for the bad news. You are going to have to spend another $250 for a camber correction kit. If you don't buy one of these kits you will end up spending lots and lots of money on new tires. This will also cost you around $50 to $100 to have installed if you are not mechanically inclined.

I have put this page here so people thinking about lowering their cars will know ahead of time the kind of money involved in this kind of undertaking. I was one of the people who thought that all I needed was a set of springs and I was set.
